Tracks & Sills in Lakeside, CA.
Tracks & Sills for Lakeside homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. The track is where the grime from every window cleaning for the last ten years settled. A proper track cleaning vacuums out the debris, lifts the drainage holes clear, brushes the corners with a detail brush, and wipes every channel with a microfiber.
Why is tracks & sills different in East County San Diego?
East County tracks hold desert dust that compacts into a near-cement layer if ignored. First-time track service on a 10-year-old East County home usually fills a small bucket.

How does Lakeside's climate affect this service?
Rural-suburban mix; significant wind-blown dust. East County tracks hold desert dust that compacts into a near-cement layer if ignored.
Why do window tracks matter if I clean the glass?
Because water drains through the track. When debris blocks the weep holes (the small slots at the bottom of the frame that let rainwater escape outside), water pools against the glass, rots the sill, and eventually finds its way inside. Clean tracks also let the window close flush — a window that can't seal is an energy leak.
How bad can a dirty track really get?
Ten-year-old tracks often hold a quarter-inch of compacted pollen, dirt, bug casings, and glass fragments from a broken window frame. We've emptied tracks into a shop-vac canister and refilled it more than once. It's surprisingly gross.
